Description
A deep wine from the Rhone Valley
The estate
Château de Saint Cosme, one of the Rhône Valley’s oldest estates, dates back to the 16th century and has remained in the same family for fifteen generations. Situated in Gigondas, the estate is celebrated for its dedication to traditional winemaking practices and its commitment to expressing the rich terroir of the Southern Rhône. Saint Cosme’s wines are known for their complexity and balance, consistently achieving recognition as some of the finest from the region.
The vineyard
The grapes for the Côtes du Rhône Villages 2022 are sourced from select vineyard sites around the Rhône Valley, where limestone and clay soils create ideal conditions for growing Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. These sites benefit from the Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights that allow the fruit to develop both depth and vibrant acidity. The estate’s careful vineyard management practices promote low yields, ensuring wines of concentration and elegance.
The case
For this Côtes du Rhône Villages, Château de Saint Cosme meticulously selects grapes that capture the essence of the 2022 vintage and the Rhône’s unique terroir. This wine is crafted with a focus on balance, showcasing the richness and structure characteristic of the region. The estate’s attention to detail in both vineyard selection and winemaking results in a wine of purity and expressive character.
The blend
The Château de Saint Cosme Côtes du Rhône Villages 2022 is crafted from a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Each varietal contributes to the wine’s overall harmony: Grenache brings lush red fruit, Syrah adds structure and spice, and Mourvèdre enhances depth and earthy complexity.
The tasting
The 2022 Château de Saint Cosme Côtes du Rhône Villages reveals inviting aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, the wine is rich yet balanced, with layers of dark fruit, peppery spice, and a touch of minerality. Fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity contribute to a smooth, lingering finish. As it evolves, the wine gains additional depth, making it an ideal choice for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring.
